Draft Grade — Packers

FutureC+
The Packers let McDonald fall and pounced. Final grade: C+. When a board-topper like Kayden McDonald slides to pick 238, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.
They will need Edwards to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Austin Barber
Value said wait; Austin Barber in Round 1, Pick 22 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121
Rnd4
Keith Abney II
The board fumbled Keith Abney II all the way to No. 121, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238
Rnd7
Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in the 238th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256
Rnd7
Dylan Edwards
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dylan Edwards well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
